Ricky and Company put on another spectacular event, if you’ve never been to a Jackson’s MMA Series event than you need to make it a point to go to the next one. This by far has been one of my favorite shows to cover up to date. This event was top-notch and well-organized with full and amazing lights. A DJ that had us dancing in our seats and getting us pumped for the fights. Aaron Burnett as ring announcer to get us hyped up for each fight. The matchmaker was on point putting on a stacked card as the entire card ended in a finish which made the judge’s job a lot easier.
